Is this sufficient enough for me to cut body fat?any help would b appreciated. I weigh 204lb at 13% bf

just as an eyeball that looks to be too low on cals bro.

Your maintenance is close to 2600 ish.. that looks way below 2,000

i think youll cut, but to fast...

also replace some of those shakes with another lean meat source..

also fats seem to low even in a cut.

add fats to meal 6

greens to meal 3 & 6

re check your numbers and macros.

[animalBLIND]

Only fats I add that i forgot to post was coconut oil.. No need to count macros. I'm burning far for energy at moment. 1 cup of green beans or broccoli every meal with lean meats.

I was only going off whats listed bro.

If there is no need to count macros then what is it your asking? Will you loose body fat , YES you will.

I am only suggesting that since you didnt count your cals you are coming up way to low and burning lots of energy makes it in an even larger deficit. Yes you will cut fat and some muscle along with it.

I'm working with fitness poynters.com he made my diet for contest prep in 10 weeks

[animalBLIND]

I thanks for the reply and info. I was just curious if i need a bit more carbs...

[largerthannormal]

add them up once, dont always feel the need to take advice because someone claims to be a nutritionist. Or me for that matter, I was only making suggestions of what is posted and trying to help you hang on to some LBM during your cut

I'm working with fitness poynters.com he made my diet for contest prep in 10 weeks

[largerthannormal]

yes add in some carbs there is not even 100 grams there which is less than 400 cals worth.

I thanks for the reply and info. I was just curious if i need a bit more carbs...

[animalBLIND]

Ok.. Jus wants someone else's opinion other than my buddies who made the diet for me. I'm drinking gallon a water a day as well.

[largerthannormal]

Also there are some good links on here for contest prep/prime suggestions

[largerthannormal]

Gallon is perfect! Maybe some others will chime in so you have a few others suggestions as well

[animalBLIND]

Ok thanks very much! I know Steve poynter is very knowledgable but I want others opinion as well.

[largerthannormal]

BLASPHEMY!!! there is ALWAYS need to count macros if your goal is predictable results. if u counted macros, u wouldnt be having to ask our opinions on whether u can lose fat on that diet!

[animalBLIND]

Just following my fellow trainer does for contest prep I know there is no need to count macros. It's common sense.. He has led many to shows and guided other to amazing transformations

[--->>405<<---]

^^ lol.. well i suppose if i had a trainer to put a diet together for me there would be no need to count macros either. seems u would have more confidence in him than to be asking us our opinions though if he was so successful. good luck there buddy!

[animalBLIND]

Was jus curious if anyone had ever tried a diet like this one before.

This is very true. It's about calories in and calories out. Yes pro fat carb are important but it still comes down to the simple math of tdee and your overall goals

[ppwc1985]

I am using a similar diet now, which that one is close to what I have always used except I use 3 shakes whey/oatmeal and three hard meals. But you do need to count calories like these guys said. Some ppl don't lime shakes but I been using them for over 20 years. Everyone is different. I use mixed vegetables and rice for my carbs. Good luck.

[animalBLIND]

So far so good. Week 2 of this diet and gained 5lb of lean mass and alot more defined and vascularity is showing everywhere. Dialing in jus right

are you on a cycle?

[animalBLIND]

At moment no lol planned on doing prop and masteron during last 6 weeks of the 12 week diet phase

[--->>405<<---]

so ur saying u have been eating at a deficit for 2 weeks not counting macros and not on any gear and u have GAINED 5 pounds of lean mass while simultaneously losing body fat??

[Back In Black]

Week 2 of this diet and gained 5lb of lean mass

No offence, but you really didn't.

[animalBLIND]

No lie. Look up fitness poynters.com he has many clients who r doing this all around the world. Lifting 4x a week for these 2 weeks. Every body part twice a week. Cardio 3x a week

[--->>405<<---]

^^ dude ur eating less than 2000 calories. there is no way ur gaining 5lbs LBM in 2 weeks on that diet with no gear. it is physically impossible. also i checked that website, nothing extremely impressive about it IMO. i did just as well with this site..

[animalBLIND]

Considering the transformation people r making on a daily basis it is impressive. And I find it funny I've gained as well but according to the scale I have. Idk where at and how but I did unless scale was off a bit out of balance

5lbs of muscle in 2 weeks?

Again, no, not possible.

[Back In Black]

At moment no lol planned on doing prop and masteron during last 6 weeks of the 12 week diet phase

so, you're not on cycle, is that what you are saying?

[animalBLIND]

At the moment no I am off cycle...

[Back In Black]

At the moment no I am off cycle...

can I ask what happened to the cycle you were 2 weeks into on the 18th of last month?

[animalBLIND]

Had to dump it.. Changed sources throuhhout cycle and couldn't get same gear.

[animalBLIND]

So jus sold what I had.... I'm sure u all have been there before

[--->>405<<---]

in case u were wondering the macros for ur diet ABOVE is roughly:
1648cals
229g pro
153g carbs
16g fat

this is not including the one shake for meal 2.. also ur current stats are almost exactly like mine. (im 5'9" though how tall are u?)

my maintenance cals are around 2700-2800. this would put u at a significant deficit..

[animalBLIND]

In between meals I'll usually have a tablespoon of pb... Least 3x a day. I am 5'11.

[--->>405<<---]

^^GIVING 200cals for the 50g protein shake and 300cals for the 3 tbsp peanut butter ud be at 2150cals.. roughly..

pretty much the same caloric value i straight cut at

its a good thing u include the peanut butter and whey to bring those calories up otherwise u could (and prob would) run into metabolic adaptation problems. i hope ur not paying for the diet advice u have been given.

[animalBLIND]

Yeah I do 3 shakes a day sometimes 2.. Always have peanut butter. I'll mix tablespoon of pb and a banana with my 2 shakes usually. And no I've been long friends with this guy.

[animalBLIND]

Each scoop of protein I use is roughly 125 calories. I use American pure whey from out of North Carolina
